ok next couple questions....

What motor mount for the Hyper 7? I see a Ofna CR mount on the this site... would that be the one or does Mike have one for the Hyper 7 that isn't listed (or that I can't find). I was considering using the Trinity EMaxx motor plate but I'm not sure how that would work. Specifically the mount is 4.76mm thick, then add and heat sink thickness, and the fact the mount is attached to the diff mount rather than replacing it I would think there would be a problem with the pinion reaching the spur.

ok now excuse my electronics ignorance here... if I go with the Wanderer motor that comes with 5mm plugs and the MM has 4mm (I think). So would I just replace the 4mm on the MM or should I use thicker wires also. Not sure but they look like they are 14g on the MM. Suggestions.....

Not sure if this will fit but I have some old XXX-S chassis around so I was thinking about cutting out the battery tray and using in the conversion. Seems pretty simple... I just hope they fit.
